Vanier Street Cats is the home of the Rescues in Need Foundation. We are the support system that keeps Ottawa’s rescue community moving. Our work focuses on three core areas:
✔️ Helping local pet owners keep their animals through direct support and resources.
✔️ Supporting local rescues by funding critical overhead costs like transport, logistics, and volunteer expenses.
✔️ Backing up volunteers w
ith the financial help they need to keep going. When no one else can move the work forward, we do. We manage the chaos. We build the infrastructure that makes local rescue sustainable—so the people saving animals don’t burn out and the animals aren’t left waiting. We’re starting in Ottawa. And this is where rescue support begins.
